    iCloud Outage Impacting Users

    Apple has confirmed an issue with iCloud, following reports of people not being able to log in or retrieve email.

    iCloud is Apple’s suite of cloud-based tools that includes email. Monday morning, reports of issues started spiking on Downdector.com, with users reporting issues logging into iCloud and checking email.

    Apple’s System Status page confirms there are issues with iCloud email, although the issues do not seem to be impacting all users. It appears mitigation efforts are already working, as Downdetector reports are also dropping.

  • Twitter Down for Some Users, Ad-Blocking Blamed

    Twitter Down for Some Users, Ad-Blocking Blamed

    Twitter appears to be down for some users in France, with at least some blaming ad-blocking software.

    Twitter users started reporting an outage on Downdetector Sunday, primarily when accessing Twitter via a desktop web browser. Phone and tablet apps appeared to work just fine.

    Interestingly, according to some users, turning off ad-blocking software in their web browser fixed the problem. So far, Twitter has not issued a statement or acknowledgement.

    It remains to be seen if the issue was the result of an error, or if Twitter is beginning to target ad-blocking software.
